Tossup

This artist produced a “Green Box” of notes for an artwork in which male figures are connected to a chocolate grinder and water wheel. Visitors look through a peephole to see a headless (10[1])nude raising a lamp in a piece this person created 25 years after quitting art for chess. (10[2])This artist left broken glass (10[1])in a window-like piece split between nine suitors and a bride. (10[1])A 1912 painting by this artist was dubbed an “explosion in a shingle factory” for depicting a nude from several perspectives as she descends a staircase. (-5[1])A snow shovel is one of many found objects modified by this artist, including (10[1])one signed “R. Mutt.” For 10 points, name this (10[1])Dada artist whose readymade Fountain is a repurposed toilet. ■END■ (0[1])
